The Nature of Things

Man is always in the quest for something, for better living, more happiness, etc. Instead, very often, unwillingly, he finds himself in undesirable situations. He ignores the most fundamental principles and laws of the universe, and yet, he expects everything to be okay. That is simply not possible. The universe does not revolve around our sweet wishes; there are certain principles and laws in existence, and we are all subjected to them; we are all governed by them.

The Nature of Things highlights some ideas that are very pertinent to our lives, so that we do not suffer unnecessarily. The travellers in this earthly sojourn are forewarned of the various snares and pitfalls, they will inevitably come across.

The Nature of Things prepares the reader to understand the most important voyage ? the voyage of life on earth.

The Nature of Things is one of the most beautiful gardens carried in the pocket. It helps to overcome negative thinking and builds up confidence.
